According to the chairman of the organisation, Tengku Azizan Tengku Husin, he shared that the cost needed to operate the island would require over RM7,000 a month.

Despite facing financial difficulties at times, the organisation is adamant in not collecting an entrance fee, welcoming all tourists or visitors who wish to visit the island. However, it is also reported that those who wish to show compassion by donating to the organisation can do so when they’re visiting.
